We talk about a lot on this episode, including the Baseball Hall of Fame — which includes part of Andre Dawson’s speech that we reference in today’s title.
We also touch on NFL training camp and Dez Bryant’s refusal to carry Roy Williams’ pads. Which side would you be on…the hot-shot rookie who may be too big for his britches or the veteran who may just be a dick because he knows his job is going to get taken?
There’s more to this, including something about NASCAR, Tour de France, MLS All-Star game and the U.S. Open buildup. Of course, we talk about all of this because I expected Nick to watch Mad Men and he didn’t, so we couldn’t discuss it. Serves me right for staying up late.
Thanks for listening.

Hi Dan, your hall of fame is a great idea. in fact, the australian football league has a similar concept and ties in those who qualify for longevity as well:
- players who play 200 games qualify for life membership, which comes with free entry to all games, special events and functions
- the hall of fame is elected by club, competition and media representatives. This is a hall of great players and coaches and administrators (incl umpires), with past and current players eligible after a waiting period.
- There is a special section of the hall of fame for those known as LEGENDS. These are the best of the best. This is limited to ~10% of the hall (23 total now).
There is still controversy, but there is no doubt that the Legends are really the top tier.
thanks
